The line that best describes one effect of the poet's use of simile in this excerpt is: C. It shows the VC's coordination in the face of obstacles to emphasize the challenging nature of the environment.

According to the dictionary, a simile is "a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid". The poet says "VC struggled with the hillside, <em>like black silk wrestling iron through grass</em>." That image evokes the challenges of nature and of the surroundings of VC, and in turn, highlight his coordination to overcome such obstacles.

ValentinkaMS [17]
Poe creates contrast in his portrayal of the bird in "The Raven" by placing the black bird on the marble statue. The contrast between the darkness of the bird and the whiteness of the statue is quite striking, exactly the thing he wanted to achieve.

Annette [7]

Answer:

Public speaking is like any skill. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Here is the only advice you need: Make eye contact with your listeners. Even if you’re nervous, nobody will know. If your audience sees you looking at them, they’ll look back and connect with you.

Start by reviewing your journal entry to make sure you have used specific details from the text to support your defense. Make sure you have at least two or three details.

Then, record a video of yourself pretending to be Zachariah’s lawyer. Pretend your revised journal entry is your "opening statement" in the trial and you are speaking to the jury and the judge.

Use any video recording device available to you. A cell phone or a webcam is perfect. Be sure to speak clearly and maintain appropriate eye contact. You might even practice with a friend, a parent, or in front of a mirror first.

If you don’t have the equipment and can’t record and upload a video, give the speech to a friend, a parent, or just a mirror. When you’re done, write a reflection in your journal about your experience. Consider what you did well and what you might do differently next time. The reflection should be about 150 words.
